Chinook WINDS.

The Deadwood Times is authority
for an article descriptive Of the CHI
nook winds, their origin, effect and
theories relative to the primary causes
Of their being. A chinook, this paper
states. is hot wind that always oe-
ours iu the winter, and derives its
name from the Chinook Indians who
live on the coast Of Washington Terri
tory and the upper portion of Oregon.
in that country there il agreat fall of
snow at times, but IL seldom lies on
the ground for any length Of time. A
gentleman Of this city who lived with
these Indians for years, says that he
has seen four feet of snow melted by a
chinook wind In few hours. In that
country they come from the south,
from the ocean, and are almost as in
tense in heat and velocity as q blizzard
is In cold. They occur in Idaho and
Montana more frequently than here
in the Hills, but there Ms here they
only warm up n narrow belt Of coun-
try.r The medicine men OF the Chi
nook tribe could always tell when q
hot wind was coming, and would take
ad, antage of the superstitioDs OF their
people 10y proclsining In advance the
exact time when IL would come, and
make medicine tojustify q prophecy.
For this reason the white men living
among them, one OF them being our
informant. in derision called them
chinook winds.
The origon OF these warm currents
has never yet been been accounted
for. unless by German scientist
who devoted q number Of years In
the northwest territories 10 their
study. His report was very volum-
inous, and so fraught with scientific
terms that an ordinary mortal
could not understand IL, and AT best II
was only theory. but IN the absence
of y better one we are inclined TO
adopt IL. Ii is about as follows:
Ocean, when the conditions are
proper, an immense volume OF
not air rises TO an unknown height,
and by some force that he had q
name for, was corralled. and then
driven of north at a very rapid rate
until counter current was reached
which diverted it into the chinook
country. where the most Of the hot air
spent its force. At times the hot all

ing as far as the hills. when by local
causes IL Is poured down upon the
earth from great height. In the ter.
ritories be claims the warm wind
comes down from above, passes over
immense snow fields and intense cold
but so far above that IL does not reach
the earth until forced down by cause,

STOCK COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
An Exhaustive Statement Of the lmportan
Work for the Past two Years.

Work for the Past two Years.
The territorial board Of stock COM
missioners have submitted their ofiic.
ial report for the years 1885 and 's6.
The report sets forth that as the board
was appointed by the last session Of
the legislature, having been in exist
ence but two years, its acts to a certain
extent have been experimental, but
that II has accomplished great deal.
Inspectors of stock have been sp-
pointed in all oftte counties embraced
in the act, and such inspectors have
uniformally performed their duties in
q pains.tak ing manner, and the gene
raj results have been benificial, not
only 10 stock men Of such counties,
but throughout the territory.
The stock detectives have lent ma.
terial aid In the enforcement of the
law aud the capture and conviction of
offenders, not only against the stock
interests Of Montana bur In the gene
raj enforcement of its criminal laws,
and in this connection II should be
stated, that the moral effect in having
inspectors acting in various localities
has been of very great benefit in the
way of the prevention OF crime of all
kinds. The benefits derived in this
way from the system are almost as di-
rect aud important as the direct aud
more apparent ones.
The board calls attention 10 the fact
that during the year 1885, 70,Os9 head
Of cattle were inspected, of which 3d.
53s head were re-inspected at Mime.
sofa Transfer; that 9s5 estrays were
recovered in shipments, 5iS upon
ranges aud 10 persons were arrested,
The estrays found in the shipments
were sold for the benefit OF the owners

and therefor returned TO them direct
with the exception Of 81, 1925, which
has passed through the hands of the
board.
In 1856. ll9, 500 head of cattle were
inspected. OF which 52.723 head were
re-insoected at Minnesota Transfer; L.
$50 e.trays were recovered in ship
ments, 459 on ranges and 43 persons
were arrested. The estrays recovered
in shipments were sold and the pro-
ceeds therefor returned TO the owners
direct, with the exception Of So, ,8s9.s4,
which passed through the hanis Of
the board.
From the elaborate tables appended
TO the report the number Of inspections
and re-inspections, estrsys recovered,
arrests, estimated value Of estrays re-
covered and amounts received by the
board, 1t 10 seen that the system
adopted is becoming perfected. The
money received by the board from the
levy Of one and one-half mills upon
the stock interests of the several coun.
ties included in the act, for the year
ending December 81. 1855, amounted
to SIS, 1882, of which Custer county
paid $4,s26. II, several hundred dollars
more than either of the other five
counties.
During 1885 nineteen arrests were
made by the detective corps for oi-
lenses against the stock laws. Inspec.
TOT w. ID. Smith making five Of the
arrests.
In 1886 $l5, ,429. 81 was received, Gus.
ter paying "a, ,07s. SO and the balance

s7,444.47. During the year the board
employed fifteen inspectors and the
arrests made by them for offences
against the stock laws numbered forty
three. w. ID. Smith holding a RECORD
of fifteen arrests made.
In closing the exhaustive report tn,
secretary, r. b. Harrison, says: "Th,
